Spangie

Spangie sighed briefly as she slumped down on a stony bench. So bored. Her gaze flickered to her familiar at her feet, laying down. “Hey, Agni. Are you bored too?” Her Familiar gave her a huff and shook his fur lightly. She gave a similar huff and slumped down further. Bored bored bored bore- ding! She quickly jumped up, nearly kicking  again who gave a threatening growl. An apologetic smile crossed her face as she opened to message.

“Oh my god,” her breath hitches in her throat. “We can go adventuring! Woooo!” She bumped her fist in the air and lightly nudged Agni with her foot. “Hey, hey! Get up! Pinball wants us to go on an adventure!” She squealed excitedly. 

Anout half an hour later, she appeared on floor 16. “Woooaah,” She gaped in awe at the beautiful islands in the distance. “I’ve never been here before!” She giggled, dashing off to find @Pinball.

“We need.. Sandcastles! Do they have buckets in SAO though..?” She questioned, frowning. She sighed and nudged @Arabelle with her shoulder, “Are you here for the Col too?” A cheeky grin on her face. “It’s. Going. To. Be. Awesome!” She said with an over happy voice.

She gave a grin as she heard a familiar voice making silly remarks. “Eeek! Hi @Grimm“ She leaped up and squealed excitedly. “How’s it going?” She smiled warmly and gave him a bear hug. After letting go she jumped up and down with a hyper aura. “Are you here to watch us play Volleyball?! Or are you here to go in the water?” She motioned towards the deep blue ocean. “I can’t wait to get in there, it’s been ages since I’ve been swimming!” She said warmly. Her pale blonde hair hair wavered in front of her face all while she blew it away. “Have you ever played Volleyball?” She asked, tilting her head, “I haven’t played in a while and I wanted to warm up before the composition starts.”

Spangie took a small sip of soda before nearly dropping it at the sound of a loud voice, “E-eh?!” She looked left and right before her eyes locked into @Pinball. “Oh,” she blew a sigh and smiled. “Oh hey, how are you doing?” She asked, setting down her drink on a nearby table. “It feels like I haven’t seen you since forever,” She grinned, messing up his hair. “So what are you doing here? I didn’t know you went to these kinds of things,” she crossed her arms, giving a small cough.

Hearing a familiar snort, she sighed and rubbed the ears of a certain creature. “So. How’s Nomekko?” She asked, examining the jar on his waist. “Is she still not social enough?” She giggled, and shrugged, “But I guess you can’t change that. Agh, I’m hungry. I wonder what kind of sweets they have here.. she trailed off topic, quickly stealing a glance at the table of food. Aghh, I guess I have to get Agni something to eat too, he must be getting hungry as well. She bit her lip and sighed.

Spangie shrugged and giggled. “Oh yeah, I definitly- wait what?” She froze, squinting at the seemingly innocent girl. This poor child has seen too much. She sighed and rubbed the side of her head. “Did I hear that right?” She coughed, looking down at the smaller than average player. “Heheh.. I think my ears are messing with me,” she plugged her fingers in her ears. “Yup, I heard nothing, lalalalala,” she held her eyes closed. @Fae

After her small ‘weirded out’ fest, she sighed and brushed off her arms. “A volleyball game sounds good right about now, she mumbled. So bored, there’s nothing to doooo! She groaned, rubbing her eyes. “You! Hazado dude!” She shouted and pointed to @Hazado,”Hi!” Her voice softened and she grinned gave a small wave. 

Spangie sighed as she opened a message from Arabelle, her face slowly turning into a grin as she read through it. “A beach party is just what I need right now,” she puffed in relief. She looked down at her familiar. “Can you go in water..?” A snort replied, “Guess not,” her eyes widened. I need to look for clothes!

A solid hour later, she appeared at the party with a orange bakini too and black swim shorts. “Where’s Arabelle?” She muttered right before locking her gaze a familiar shade of purple. She dashed over to the girl, her chest heaving as she skidded to a halt. “I’m.. here! To build a sand castle!” She grinned, Agni trotting slowly behind her. She sighed happily as she watched the blue waves roll in. This feels like heaven.

@Arabelle

Spangie heavens a sigh as she slouched on a small wooden bench, her familiar at her feet. “So. Borrreeeedd,” she groaned, rubbing her eyes. “Can’t a single person pop up and tell me to randomly join them in this adventurous world?!” She thought for a moment. Nah, that’d be too cliche. She puffed angrily and slouched some more into the bench. Her familiar snorted and set its eyes locked in a certain way. “Wutchu looking at~” she cooed, turning her head to a small group. A flash of violet hair made her eyes widen, quickly sprinting to he location. “Kyyyahhhh! My friendsss! I was so bored without you!” Sheblaunchdd herself onto Arabelle, faking a couple sobs. She quickly regained her stature and took Arabelle by her shoulders and shaking her. “I thought I was going to dieeee!”

“Oo, does someone have arachnophobia?” She giggled stretching her hands. She puffed and sighed, “I’m bored,” she said after a few seconds of silence, “Quick! 21 Questions! Uh.. what is your.. favorite hobby?!” She grinned, facing him all while walking backwards.

”Oh that sounds cool, what profession are you looking into?” She rubbed her chin, “There’s a bunch of cool ones you should look into. But the mountains are a pretty cool place to live.”

”Yup, this game is pretty weird,” she chuckled alongside him. “It’s be cool for it to be like this in real life, yeah?” She grinned and fiddled with her hands. “What do you think you’re going to do when you get out of here?”

@Reinholt

“How am I supposed to know, I’m not even at the legal drinking age,” she giggled and rubbed her back of her neck. Ma and Pa would freak if they knew I could be drinking, she sweat dipped and shook her head. “Oh stop it,” she puffed. “But nice to meet you Sharr,” she grinned, happily shaking his hand.

”Oh Agni? He’s called a Nine Tailed Fox,” she rubbed her chin, “I found him in a pretty weird spot but he’s alright,” she shrugged, earning a snort from her familiar. Oh yeah, he can do some crazy things with fire. It practically blinded me he first time I met him but I haven’t battled with him yet.. but he was pretty cool when he saved me the first time I met him..” she trailed off and coughed. “Chocolate. Is. The best!” She gave a thumbs up and chuckled.

@Sharr

She went wide eyed as @Arabelle gave her a surprise hug and handed a drink, “Thanks?” She raised a brow as she rushed off and brought back another drink. Okay then.. she shrugged it off and smiled gleefully.

She shrugged, “We all have our preferences I suppose,” a small smile on her face. “I wouldn’t dream of drinking anyways,” she sighed and set the bottle down, “I like sweet things,” she grinned, looking over at the table of foods. “I don’t think the game does that bit possibly,” she sighed and held her hand out, “It’s K- Spangie. What’s yours?,” she smiled genuinely. After their greeting she grabbed her familiars front two legs, causing Agni to yelp in surprise. “And his here..” she huffed, the weight of her familiar surprising her. “Is Agni!” She quickly let him go when he released a low growl. “Fine! Geez.”

@Sharr

Spangie backed away from the dangerous Nepent, “Oof, nice job!” She grinned, giving a thumbs up. She drew back her dagger, readying it for the future. Phew, don’t mess up now.. she blinked, dashing forward. Only a few steps forward, her foot slipped on the rough dirt clearing. “Wahhh!” Her eyes widened as the ground fell before her, “Ow!” She yelled as she felt her body press roughly against the ground, “Ah, stupid,” she muttered as she slowly rose up.

She looked back at @Arabelle, “Ah, sorry!” She let out a small nervous grin and backed away slowly from the stunned Nepent. I just had to make a fool of myself today huh..? She bounded to her friends side, “Ah, I’m such a clutz, I guess you don’t have anymore energy to kill it huh?” She groaned, rubbing her head.

She gave a thumbs up, "Things have been great!" she cheered, a bright smile on her face. "A lot of things have changed since the last time I saw you," she grinned. As she mentioned Apricot, her face slowly fell. "O-oh.. Uh, she d-died," she stuttered, nervously scratching the back of her head. "I did the quest again and I found Agni here!" she piped up, pointing to her new familiar. "He's not like Apricot, but he's a nice creature to have around," she softly smiled as she gently touched the top of Agni's head. "Anwyho!" she shouted suddenly, "What are you doing here? I thought you didn't go to gatherings like this," her smile wavered. "Not that you shouldn't be here or anything!" she shook her hands roughly and sighed. Noticing the jar on his waist, her smile widened. "Oh hey Zomekko! It's good to see you again!" she said genuinely. "So! How have you been lately?" she scanned the features on @Pinball face. "Nervous?"

After she finished her quick chat with Pinball she sighed and headed towards to wherever all the food was. As she watched a certain white haired male 'stealthily' steal a bottle of whine she sighed and crossed her arms. "Who you there would be stealers in this game too.." she muttered, slowly picking up a small wine bottle. "Wine isn't the best thing to steal in our current situation y'know?" she grinned, holding up the bottle of wine. "Not sure if you can get drunk here but I'm pretty sure you can't.." she mumbled, examining the wine. "Try using tea, it tastes way better," she puffed and rubbed her familiars ears. @Sharr

"Wow, your life must've been so cool," she sighed, twirling her straw in her drink. "Then I'll just have to call you... Sirbastian," she erupted into fits of laughter. "I feel so dumb!" she banged her hands on the table, "Sirbastian.. hah," she sighed happily and wiped away yet another stray tear. "I'm so annoying," she giggled, taking another spoonful of cake. "Did you sleep in castle?!" she jumped up, pressing her hands onto the table as she leaned close to him, her eyes full of excitement, "Did you wear a crown, did you have some kind of throne room?" she squealed, collapsing into her chair. "Hm.. Royalty," she smiled and rested her hand on her arms.

"Happiest in the world..?" she echoed. "Hm.." she tapped her fingers on her chin. "I dunno.. a lot of things make me happy," she sighed, her brows furrowing. "I would kill for sketchbook right now, or my pencil case!" she held up two fingers. "Art is my life, I can't live without it," she frowned, "The only thing keeping me sane in this world is the thought of being able to get out of here and drawing the sceneries here," she clapped her hands together, "Yeah!"

She put another spoon full of cake into her mouth and nodded her head. "I know right?" she gulped it down with a refreshing sigh and leaned back in her chair. "Well, It's hard to believe you've been stuck in here for two years. I would've killed myself because of boredom," she said jokingly, "But.. sure, I can teach you. Maybe we can do a simple quest," she shrugged, "You seem fine, my friend had a Scythe like weapon and I've seen her use it. How hard can it be?"

@Grimm

'What We Fight For : 

Spangie walked through the small paved paths of Coral, her familiar at her side. "We should look for that chamber thingy soon right?" she spoke out, asking her familiar. Agni merely snorted and trotted faster. "Hey, come back!" she puffed, speed walking faster. It was only a few minutes later that Agni started full out running, "H-hey! Stop itttt! You're too fast!" she shouted, her voice echoing throughout the entire town. Her walking turned into a full sprint as she chased after the troublemaking familiar. "Stooop!" she cried as her familiar ran into several people, leaving them wide eyed. "Sorry! I'll pay for that sword!" she gave a remorseful look to passing civilians before running faster to catch her familiar. 

Now running as fast she can, she chased her familiar through the village, causing havoc everywhere. It was only then did her familiar stop a few meters away from a player with a skidding halt did she realize she was going to crash. "W-wait!" was the only thing she said before completely crashing into a certain white haired player. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" she rubbed her head and groaned. Now I've done it..

@Sharr

She shrugged. “Yeah I guess a lot of people are like,” she giggled, “My energy is fine but I think that the Variant is gonna pop out any moment,” she sighed, rubbing her head. “We might as well just get it over with, my sword skills do a decent amount of damage so I think we’ll manage.” She  glanced at her HP bar. “It only does 10 damage and the mitigation isn’t that high either,” she waved it off. “We’ll be fine,” she sighed. “Now.. we wait.”

Only a few minutes later did the Variant finally appeared , on its head was just the thing they needed. She glanced back at @Arabelle, “You ready?” 

Spangie exhaled as she dashed towards the target, her dagger out. Her glare sent daggers as the Nepent charged at her, vines tangled in a mess and a mouth as large as her head. As the sound of metal against plant ripped through the air, she bounded back. The creature had barely grazed her as she could see a small bar of health decrease. Weak. "You're up!"

“But its not fair!” She threw her hands up in the air and groaned. “The stupid battling system is broken! I swear!” She grumbled, her shoulders sagging. “Fine, fine..” she muttered. This stupid game is so rigged. She thought harshly, readying herself.

After Arabelle took a few hits, it was Spangie’s turn to strike. She took the Nepent in surprise by dashing towards it, dagger pulled back, ready to plummet whoever it comes across with. A few heartbeats later, she could feel the plants surface getting ripped open by her dagger and slowly dispersing. “Eugh, I’m glad there’s no blood in this game,” she turned back to @Arabelle. “Or that would’ve been disgusting.”

“Well. The variant should be coming around soon,” she turned to Arabelle, eyeing her health bar. “Let me get first hit, I don’t want you to die here. You’re health is pretty low right now,” she warned, her face full of seriousness.

The player gave an excited thumbs up. “I’ve been really good lately!” She exclaimed, motioning herself to Agni. “I got myself a - ahem - a new familiar,” she paused, patting the fox’s head. Her body leaned forward to whisper into the violet haired girl’s ear. “He’s not the best at socializing but you get the gist of it,” She covered one side of her mouth with her right hand, earning a small growl from Agni. “Nothing! I said nothing!” She grinned at her familiar and stepped back. “Aw.. it’s okay,” she said, patting her friends back, “They’re like little kids,” she giggled. “He’s very pretty though,” she gave a thumbs up at that. “So!” She piped up, “You need to telll me all about on how you got him @Arabelle!”

The blonde was surprised to see an ‘old’ friend at the party, “Hi @Grimm!” She clapped her hands together and grinned. “It’s good to see you here! I didn’t know you went to formal balls,” she giggled, flicking him in the forehead. “Oh right! Have you met Agni? I haven’t introduced him to you yet,” she grinned, stepping out of the way and putting a hand on her familiars head. “Agni, this is Sebastion, Sebastion this is Agni. Be nice you two,” she chuckled, earning a blank stare from her familiar. “R-right then!” She sputtered, sweat dropping.

Spangie’s eyes wavered as Arabelle excuses herself from the group. “Okie dokie then,” her face still held her signature smile as she watched the violet haired go girl off and buy a few drink for her and @Pinball. Ah, jeez. I haven’t seen him in a while.. maybe I should say hi? But he’s busy talking to Ara. She squinted at the two and shrugged. Ah, screw it. Can’t hurt to socialize every once in a while. At the finish of the thought, she quickly rushed over and poked Pinball on the arm. “Nice to see you again Pinball!” She grinned.

“Uh..” she opened up her menu and scanned the quest. “We have to go that forest full of spiders, yuck.” She sighed, “Defeat a dark elf and we come back to the shop so they can make the armor,” she shrugged. “That’s pretty much it.”

She pointed to the exit of the town, “It should just be a straight line from that exit,” She grinned, grabbing his arm. “Let’s gooooo!”

On the way to the forest, the player was happily skipping through the fields of vivid flowers. “I absolutely love it here~” she cooed. “It’s so pretty!” She giggled, her smile as bright as the sun itself. “It’s nice to live here right?” She stretched out her arms. “I want to get a nice house an live here! I’m definitely too broke for a big one though,” She grumbled, kicking at the ground. “So, where do you plan on settling in?” She looked back at her towering party member. “Do you prefer the nice forests? Chilling air? Extreme heat?” She questioned, her smile growing wider.

@Reinholt

Spangie sighed audibly as she slowly treaded to a place near a large window. The people I know look like they already know other people here. She shook her head and crossed her arms. Nah, I’m just getting paranoid. Her throat let out an amused chuckle as she softly scratched Agni’s head. “Why don’t you go socialize?” She giggled as her familiar snorted and looked the other way. “Aw. C’mon.. there’s plenty of familiars here!” She cooed, her eyes flickering from creature to creature in the ballroom. “See? Look at that crow over there on that purple haired.. girl..” she trailed off, her gaze locking into the familiar face. @Arabelle? She abruptly stood up, and walked slowly towards the familiar stature. 

“Ara?” Her hands cupped over her mouth, making it boom through the ball. Only a few meters away from the player, a grin formed on her face. “Heyyy! It’s my purple haired twin!” She giggled in a joking manner. Her hands behind her back, “Is this your familiar you were talking about?” She queried as she took a step closer to the crow. 

Spangie’s half lidded eyes were tired from exhaustion. “Aughhhh.” She groaned, rubbing her head. “Why can’t you die faster?!” She shouted at the creature. She held up her dagger in an offensive stance, It’s standing perfectly still.. maybe if I’m fast enough. I can kil it. She huffed, bringing her dagger back. It’s now or never. She exhaled quickly before dashing forward, her dagger swinging towards the small boar. As the artificial sounds of flesh against metal rang through the air, she opened one eye, then slowly opening the other. “E-eh, I did it? I did it!” She giggled and scanned the area. Cmon, he must’ve dropped something. Her gaze focusing on a small object. There it is! She held up the tiny tsk and stored it in her inventory. That’s one down.

She shrugged and smiled. “Okie dokie,” she grinned and walked towards the blacksmiths house. “I’ll only be here for a few minutes. They’re supposed to be nice so..” she crossed her fingers and winked. “Wish me luck!” She said happily, stepping into the smiths shop. “Oh wait!” She shouted, stopping midway through the stairs, “What kind of armor do you want? Heavy or light?” After his answer she smiled and bounced into the shop.

The shop was filled with shelves full of weapons from spears to swords to daggers. “Wow..” she murmured, running her hands on the shelves. “Anyone here?!” She shouted throughout the house.

“Aye, here we are,” she heard a hardy voice from behind the corner. “You’re here for the quest, yes?” he puffed. Rubbing his hands together.

The player nodded her head and pointed at the door. “Yeah my friends outside, he’ll be taking the armor for the quest.”

”Yeah, sure, sure. Just take the quest,” he huffed, walking to the corners of the shop. So nice. She sighed an accepted the quest.

”I got the quest!” She shouted a few minutes later, running out the blacksmiths shop with a grin.

@Reinholt

She took her spoon and quickly dug into her cake, “Oh, that’s coo- Wait what?!” She nearly spit out her cake, her eyes widening in surprise. She took a large gulp and sighed. “And I thought I knew history,” she muttered. “W-we’ll, that’s certainly surprising,” she chuckled nervously. Do I call him your highness or your majesty?! Aghhh! Why is this so confusing?! Her eyes twitched upward a little but she quickly breathed in an out. Cake.. pencils.. art.. canvas.. “Phew..” she sighed and gripped her tea, slowly sipping it through the straw.

”Good friends..” she murmured. “Yeah, that sounds nice..” she smiled to herself. “Oh, I’m sure thats not true! You seem perfectly capable of taking care of yourself!” She waved her hands and covered her face who flushed a bright pink. 

“What.. is want to be remembered for..?” She looked at her tea, her eyes fixated on it. “I would want to be remembered for..” she paused, looking up and flashing a smile. “Just being me!” 

@Grimm

“Lucky, you’ve talked to royalty.. do meet with kings and queens?” She pouted. “I wanna see royalty too,” she frowned. “When we get out of here you owe me a trip to see the queen of England! Mwahaha!” She cackled innocently. She clapped her hands in joy, “Right! It’s like the Holocaust! You can be like Anne Frank!” She thought for a moment, “E-except you won’t d-die in a camp..” she said nervously.

”O-oh,” her face dropped as she heard is tale of his friends. “A-ah sorry for asking, I shouldn’t of have,” she rubbed her forehead, “I’m so dumb,” she sighed. “Well, I hope you find this Athena person then,” she gave a small smile and looked down at her hands. “Y-yeah. You don’t need to go on.”

A few seconds of silence passed by and before you know it the waiter was there with their sweets. “Ah! Yes thank you!” She smiled happily as he placed her tea and cake in front of them, he nodded and rushed off. “W-well! Let’s stop talking about this sad stuff!” She huffed, “We need something happy!” She thought for a moment while rubbing her chin. “Hm. What makes you the most happiest person in the world?”

@Grimm

She giggled. “It’s okay, I’ll try it after I get out of here!” She grinned brightly, if I ever get out of here.. she added bitterly, her face not wavering. She sighed and smiled, “You make him sound like a servant, are you rich in real life or something? Oops.. I didn’t mean to talk about the real world,” she shrugged and drew a few more shapes with her fingers on the table.

She tilted her head. “So you’ve been keeping up with this log thing since day one huh? That’s pretty neat. I don’t have enough patience to keep up with that,” she laughed shyly. 

Throughout his entire log, she didn’t say a peep, her ears focused on the long speech. Soon after he was done, she clapped her hands a few times. “Wow! That was really well written! Screw me being Shakespeare, you should be one!” She joked, her hands removing a stray piece of hair from her face. “You seem pretty close to that Axel Bolt and Athena people, one question. We’re they your friends in real life or something? Sorry for my rudeness though,” she squealed, covering he gave with her hands. I’m so dumb.

@Grimm

"Oh my gosh! Yes!" she gave a long laugh, nearly falling over, "I- Thats so true!" she giggled, wiping away a tear. "That sounds high accurate, yes," she said, sitting up straighter with a straight face. Only before falling into fits of laughter again. "I'm sorry.. I can't. I can't help it," she sighed, a small smile on her face. Her smile only grew wider as he started naming a few more desserts. "Whoooo! Dessert buddies!" she raised her hands high in the air waiting for a high five. After that, she shook her head, "No, I haven't. Like sweets but it doesn't mean I can afford all of them," she sighed. She clapped her hands together, "If they have it here though, I'll definitely try it. I will live for that Tiramisu," she grinned and rested her head in her hand.

She nodded, "Logs? Thats the first I've ever heard of that. Sounds cool," she smiled brightly and nodded her head again. "Yeah sure! It'd be cool to see SAO through the lives of another person."

"O-oh. In the game..? Well," she flickered her eyes to the solid table. "I've been on adventures will a couple nice people. Quirky people," she smiled at the thought of a few of her friends that she'd met in SAO. "I had a familiar.. she died saving me though," she smiled sadly as she used her free hand to draw circles on the table. "She was a nice familiar, I plan on getting a new one soon though. Hopefully the next time I see you, I'll have it."

@Grimm

Spangie hesitantly entered the ballroom with her familiar. “It’s.. really crowded here,” she said nervously, her familiar giving a snort as a reply. “But!” She piped up, raising a finger, “We must socialize!” She giggled, slowly walking through the huge room. “It’s so big here..” she said happily, spinning around to get all the good looks. Ahem.. where’s the hostess again..? She looked around, her gaze locking into a certain female. “She looks like she knows what this is about..” she muttered lowly, striding over to @Novafire. 

Slowly, she poked the woman’s shoulder, “Ah, hello. You’re the one who sent the message to me right? It’s wonderful to be here,” she giggled and patted Agni’s head reassuringly. “Try to be nice to other people today, okay?” She whispered so that only her familiar could hear. “Try to make some friends hm?” She gave a wry chuckle as he snorted and whipped his head towards a small window. I tried.
